Dissident Chechen military commander Sulim Yamadayev described a situation in Chechnya at odds with Kremlin claims that it has re-established control there, saying fighters granted amnesty could return to the mountains and restart the war against Russia “at any moment.” Yamadayev’s comments followed a clash this week between his fighters, who formally report to the Defence Ministry in Moscow, and soldiers commanded by Chechnya’s pro-Kremlin leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
